Why does refined sunflower oil receive a Nutri‑Score of C despite having no sugar or salt?

The Nutri‑Score algorithm heavily penalises high energy and total fat content; with 900 kcal and 100 g of fat per 100 g, the oil scores low on the positive side, resulting in a C grade.

How does the high fat and calorie density of refined sunflower oil affect weight management and heart health?

Because it is energy‑dense, excessive consumption can contribute to weight gain; however, the oil is low in saturated fat and contains vitamin E, so moderate use can fit a heart‑healthy diet if overall saturated fat intake remains within recommended limits.

What is the best way to store an opened bottle of refined sunflower oil to prevent oxidation?

Keep the bottle tightly sealed in a cool, dark place away from heat and light; refrigeration can prolong freshness, but if stored properly at room temperature the oil remains stable for several months.
